(c1. 15-268) My invention relates to improvements in holders for supporting spoons during polishing and the primary purpose in view is to provide an efficient, practical, and inexpensive device of this character for supporting spoons either face or backside up during polishing.

Other and subordinate objects are also comprehended by my invention all of which, together with the precise nature of my improvements, will be readily understood when the succeeding description and claims are read with reference to the drawings accompanying and forming part of the specification.

In said drawings:

Figure 1 is a view in top plan of my improved 'holder,

Figure 2 is a view in side elevation,

Figure 3 is a view in end elevation,

Figure 4.- is a view in longitudinal section taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 1 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows,

Figure 5 is a similar view taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 1 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows, Figure 6 is another similar view illustrating the rear end section of the left detached, and

Figure 7 is a view in side elevation of said rear end section detached.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, the holder of my invention comprises an elongated, rectangular fiat base I preferably of wood and of any suitable length having threaded into one end thereof in the longitudinal center of said base an eye screw 2 for attaching the base to a table or the like.

At one side of said base I means are provided for supporting the bowl of a spoon and the handle thereof in fixed position with the front side of the spoon uppermost, said means comprising an elongated substantially egg-shaped socket 3 in said base extending lengthwise thereof and for seating the bowl 3 of the spoon therein, and an elongatedflat block 4 upstanding .from said base I and disposed lengthwise, in the longitudinal center of the socket 3 in spaced relation to the larger end of the latter, the block having a top edge 5 inclining upwardly from said socket to form a'rest for the handle 4' of the spoon,

At the opposite side of said base I means are provided for supporting a spoon backside uppermost and in fixed position comprising a domelike elongated rest 5 for the bowl conforming in contour tothe shape of the bowl, and a row of notches 1 formed in said base in the longitudinal center'of the rest 6, said notches being of different sizes and spaced atdifferent distances from saidrest 6 to accommodate the terminal ends of spoon handles 4 of difierent lengths.

The rest 6 comprises a front section 8 fixed to the base and a smaller rear end mating section 9 adapted for detachment to provide for support by the front section 8 of large size spoon bowls. For detachably attaching said rear end section, a dowel pin in is provided in the section to extend therefrom into a bore H provided in the base I. I

The foregoing will, it is believed, sufiice to impart a clear understanding of my invention since the use of the parts has been set forth in the foregoing in connection with the description of the construction thereof.

Manifestly the invention, as described, is susceptible of modification Without departing from the inventive concept and right is herein reserved to such modifications as fall within the scope of the subjoined claim.

What I claim is:

A holder for supporting spoons during polish ing comprising a rectangular base, means on said base for supporting the spoons backside uppermost comprising a domelike egg-shaped rest for the bowl conforming in contour to the shape of the bowl,v said rest comprising a front section fixed to the base, and a smaller rear end mating section adapted to be detachably mounted on said base to change the shape of the rest for supporting different size spoons, and means to detachably mount the rear end section on said base comprising a dowel pin extending therefrom into said base, said base being provided with depression means constructed and arranged to engage and seat the ends of handles of different size spoons.
